Showing Apples

Wealth Compounds. Even if you start from what seems like scratch, but isn’t. That is because despite the valuable notion of Private Property, wealth creation is a team sport. The best part of being human is we can learn from other people’s successes and failures. We don’t have to invent the wheel ourselves if we do the required reading. There is a scene in Good Will Hunting where a know-it-all tries to embarrass people he feels superior to. Will had done the reading, and showed the guy some apples. Meaning he taught him some best practice. A better way to live. One of the biggest lessons from history is progress doesn’t have to be Win-Lose. Countries like Singapore and the Asian Tigers have leapfrogged the middle steps. England, Germany, France and Japan all rebuilt after being torn apart by the World Wars. With conscious, direct, practical steps. Removing barriers to trade and prosperity is possible. It has been done before. We can let go of the mistakes and apply the learnings. We can open up.
